What do you do when you're hurting so much that you don't even know how to pray?
In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Jen unpack the powerful promise of Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
Together, they explore the reality of grief, disappointment, anger, and heartbreak—and why God never asks us to hide those emotions from Him. Instead of pretending we're okay, this conversation encourages us to bring our pain honestly before God, trusting that He is closest to us in the moments we feel weakest.
From parenting and emotional health to surrender and spiritual growth, Ash and Ben discuss why acknowledging our emotions is often the first step toward healing, and how God meets us with compassion in the middle of our mess.
God isn't waiting for you to have it all together. He's inviting you to bring your brokenness, your questions, and your pain to Him—and discover that He's already there.
